I recommended The Gimp as it can take screenshots of individual windows, defined sections, or the entire screen, and then bsdnewbie (and other newbies) may edit the image and save it in the format they desire.

I myself prefer "import" over Gimp, scrot, Gnome printscreen ultility... since it is light-weight, highly configurable and ...does the job :P
